Those people deserved those jobs and she is so cruel to make them unemployed, you'd think she turned Capitalist.

Oprah also threw Rosie under the bus. Her show was cancelled because the best amount of viewers she could get was 190,000
Bye Bye Rosie!!!!

I don't know if this was a sarcastic post. But I'll play. The OWN network isn't doing that well. "Restructuring" is just a fancy way of saying she needed to balance the budget. There probably wasn't enough work to be done or enough money to fund those employees. They deserved to be laid off.

she bit off more than she could handle.
Did she really need to buy a network. She couldnt find anything to do with herself since she left her show.

Oprah, moron, it is OK to do nothing once and a while, you will still be able to get to heaven.

Oprah is clearly a job creator. A tax cut would help her have enough money to start hiring again.

Oh come on now! She's announced years ago she was planning on retirement. Things were bound to be rearranged.

What would you have her do? Maintain air space and a full staff for a show she's no longer hosting? Wouldn't that be a wee bit nutter?
